An alcoholic beverage establishment employee or an employee shall deface a winning
number or symbol of a pull tab when it is redeemed. Tickets redeemed for credit through a
dispensing device must be defaced by an employee of the organization at the time of the
interim period site visit. All winning pull tab tickets with a bar code also must have the bar code
defaced. If a pull tab has two or more winning prize patterns, a winning number or symbol of
at least one pattern must be defaced.
2.
An alcoholic beverage establishment employee or an employee may not:
a.
Assist a player in opening a pull tab except to assist a disabled player;
b.
Knowingly pay a prize to a player who is redeeming a pull tab that has been defaced,
tampered with, counterfeited, or has a game serial number different from the serial
numbers of the deals in the game;
c.
Knowingly pay a prize to a player who is redeeming a pull tab when the player with the
pull tab has left the gaming area of a site;
d.
Publicly display a redeemed pull tab;
e.
Knowingly pay a prize for a pull tab after fifteen minutes has elapsed since it was bought.
If a player attempts to redeem a pull tab after the allowed time limit, an alcoholic
beverage establishment employee or an employee shall, if possible, retain and void the
pull tab;
f.
Pay, from gaming funds or any other source, a prize to a player unless the player
redeems an actual winning pull tab that has a game serial number from a game
conducted at the site; or
g.
Reimburse, from any source of funds, an amount to a player for play of a game that has
a manufacturing defect or has an incorrect posting of information described by
subsection 7, unless the attorney general approves.
3.
A prize must be cash. There may be no last sale prize.
4.
If a device malfunctions, is inoperable, and a player has a credit, an alcoholic beverage
establishment employee or an employee shall pay the player for the player's unplayed credits
and record the refund on a credit redemption register. An alcoholic beverage establishment
shall provide this form to an organization to claim a reimbursement. If a player's currency jams
in a currency validator and a device does not show a credit, an alcoholic beverage
establishment employee may not reimburse a player, and shall record the jam on a credit
redemption register and notify an organization. If an organization determines that a device is
cash long, the organization shall reimburse a player by cash or check.
5.
An alcoholic beverage establishment employee and an employee shall document and attest to
the number and value of redeemed winning pull tabs, by value and in total, that are
exchanged for cash or check. These pull tabs must be grouped, banded, dated, and retained
separate from other pull tabs that an organization employee may have redeemed, and
separate from those redeemed through a credit redemption device, by interim period.

An organization shall provide an alcoholic beverage establishment employee and an alcoholic
beverage establishment shall maintain a current copy of subsection 8 of section 99-01.3-02-03
and sections 99-01.3-02-05, 99-01.3-02-09, 99-01.3-12-03, and 99-01.3-12-04 regarding the

An alcoholic beverage establishment employee or an employee may post the information
referenced by subdivision a or b, or both, provided that an organization does not have a partial
deal that is to be added to a device. An organization shall post a statement that the
information is correct to the best of the organization's knowledge and that the information is
not guaranteed to be accurate. If an organization does not have a policy on when to stop
posting this information when a game is being closed, it shall stop posting the information
when there are less than six winning pull tabs, through a level of prize value determined by
the organization, that remain unredeemed. Posted information may be the information
described in subdivision a or b, or both:

unredeemed winning pull tabs, through a level of prize value determined by an
organization, that will always be in a game unless the game is being closed. This

prize value must be posted. If a pull tab has two or more winning prize patterns, the
information must be based on the value of each prize pattern.

by an organization, that remain in a game. This information may be for each prize value
or the total of several prize values. The level of prize value must be posted. If a pull tab

each prize pattern. The information must be continually updated.
